Tbf, his distribution yesterday wasn’t great. One of his saves he had to make came from a long ball up field which was nowhere near an England player.Those anti Pickford pundits certainly have a following.
There's constant criticism of his distribution in the comments on reports in the papers.
But what is he to do whenever he plays it short it's passed back to him.
I’d put Pat Jennings in there with those two.Never seen Banks play but my Dad said he was brilliant and was up there with Southall.
Agree fine keeper.I’d put Pat Jennings in there with those two.
I think it is time to go for the reasons you mention but he’s been at the helm eight years now and whilst he had done decent (certainly in terms of qualification and the tournaments themselves, I think he has gone as far as he can) - I agree he is a little too cautious.I'm not saying he hasn't but 2 finals 2 losses and how we score and try to defend the lead for 88 mins against Italy on home soil and then go 1 down pull it back and try to defend it to go to extra time that defines Southgate
Pickford has been a far more successful England goalkeeper than anybody bar Banks - and Banks only played in a couple of tournaments.Agree fine keeper.
Shilton and clemence not bad either but slightly below those three.
Don't think pickford is as good as any of them though.
Nigel martyn was better for me as well.
Then again they are not what you could call a modern players who have the ball at there feet as much as in there hands.
The modern footballs move in the air more as well.
Yep, I think our best chance was three years ago, even in the penalty shootout we grabbed defeat from the jaws of victoryAnd we’ll have absolutely nothing to show for it
Who? BBC? I switched over before getting the chance to listen to Shearer. ITV didn't give Pickford stick, praised him every time I heard him mentioned.Were they giving him stick?
